What do you say rob, could you suggest how? ;)

I would actually be more interested in seeing this work with
acme, if nothing but for the novelty of it.

Sam,
Samuel is an integration of Rob Pike's sam editor with Joe Steffen's cscope
browser.  I believe that both tools are available externally, and I have to
believe that Rob's sam has been ported to plan9.  Unfortunately, samuel was
never released externally, and I cannot legally distribute this source
outside of Lucent... and since I am no longer working for Lucent, I
wouldn't be able to start the process to release it...  if you can find an
advocate inside of Lucent, I can direct them to the source.

On the otherhand, Rob's sam editor is a very powerful tool on its own, and
could be used with cscope to do many of the same searches samuel does,
without changing code.  I'm sure Rob could suggest how.
